Yes my items came to $18.96. The only shipping options are USPS and Fedex @ $55.29, $72.16 and $75.97..... I should point out that that includes boxes, so maybe thats why the shipping is high

I buy stuff from them every week and the cheapest shipping is always about $16.

I got my Caps an extra full shirt, pants, and belt from Ebay. Ebay is loaded with a lot of parted out costume pieces right now, plus a lot of the sellers overseas have free shipping.

Yes.
It's the boxes, I removed them and it went down to $6
If you are buying a bunch of empty boxes, the shipping will be higher because of dimensional weight...

Can someone post the link on how to add a V shape to the body? Or does someone have a simple way to do the mod that doesn't require sewing and removing the entire suit? I just got my combo and I'm not digging that boxy body.
Using parts from this set to make a US Agent Cap. Still a WIP. Helmet will be painted black, as will the shield.

Whats the bodysuit?
I got it from Tony Meis. It was a punisher/Snake Eyes/Batman Beyond suit he made a couple of years back.

oh! I was hoping it was something that was widely available, I was looking for a Black bodysuit for a Ronin(Hawkeye) custom
The suit was $50 when i got it.
And i think i might have a spare.
But there are cloth suits on Ebay for less.

Stealth Cap is my most modded figure ever..
1st mod : Added foam on shoulders, add foam on chest.... cut the blue rubber vest along the two lines to enable the arms to rest naturally (instead of out wide)... The cutting of the blue rubber vest is my most regretful mod as it caused both sleeves to open up...
Result : Chest still too skinny, shoulders too squarish, cause the short neck look..
2nd Mod: Added more foam on the chest.... remove the fat suit at abdomen area.
Result : Chest looks bigger n better... but shoulders still too squarish... the abdomen looks hollow without the fat suit, lower part of the suit is flabby...
3rd & Final Mod : Removed the shoulder foams, Reinstate back the fat suit at abdomen area, pushed both arms as low as possible to create the shoulders drapping down effect like the actual Cap on movie....
As u can see, both sleeves opened up due to the cutting of the blue rubber vest underneath.... most regrettable mod....
Shoulders drape down look, not squarish.... HT should hav used a TM20 (Arnold) Body rather than a shoulder squarish body...
Overall im satisfied with my 3rd mod...
Nice one Sunnycrowe. The third time definitely turned out the nicest!
That's pretty much the same mod I did (stuffing foam around the lower chest and around the traps). Yours looks pretty good around the waist but mine still looks a bit wide there but I'm fine with it.
I did retain the fat suit but did not cut the blue vest for mobility as I had heard that would ruin the suit. I figured the only thing hindering the arm articulation was the amount of slack the blue rubber vest would give, so all I did was slide the suit up from the abs until it bunched up a bit around the chest area.
It can now almost put the arms down to the side (not as much as yours) and I can raise the arms up (with elbow bent) above his head (pics in my earlier post).
But overall, I think for anyone who wants the figure to have more definition (in relation to the head and waist size) but don't want to cut up or permanently alter the stock figure, this kind of mod is the easiest and safest.
Good job again, someone else thinking along the same lines
Hi Rambler, I don't know if the suit stretches and loosens a bit over time (?). I don't have it in stock condition anymore but the range of mobility in his arms seem to go further the more I pose them around. Chest and waist still quite tight though. Can anyone else confirm this?

My last payment comes out in a weeks. Can't wait. Wish it was sooner. But right around my B-day so not bad. I like the looks of the mods being posted, but not sure I'll try them myself. May still pick up an extra sheild on ebay to do the dry brush paint job though. Just counting the days.

I believe you can request to pay it off early.... you should have recieved an email about it

They're usually good about changing payments. I asked for my AOU Cap to be changed to a single payment and they agreed right away as well
